A police pursuit of a car towing a caravan through a Cambridgeshire village has left residents in shock, after the caravan became detached and damaged buildings.

Police were chasing a red 4x4 through Willingham at around 11.39pm on Friday night (December 14).

During the chase, the caravan the car was towing became detached as the driver rushed around a corner. The caravan reportedly then crashed into a fence in front of a house.

The chase also damaged several homes in the village, including buildings in Long Lane.

One picture taken by a resident shows where the caravan collided with a house, destroying the corner of the roof. Other photos show fences the caravan smashed into, and also skid marks left on the road from the chase.

Damage to a Virgin box also meant some residents reportedly lost their internet connection, however engineers have since fixed the issue.

Having lost the caravan, the vehicle was able to escape police by driving across a ploughed field.
